How do I make this work?

I have recently made an attempt to make a script that will increase the leaderstats level for “Value” by one every minute. However, I’m still quite inexperienced in Lua. That’s why I came here; I’m trying to get the leaderstats to increase by one every minute.

The script so far:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(players)

     local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",players)

     leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'

     local Level = Insance.new(IntValue", leaderstats)

     Level.Name = "Level"
end)

try making it like this:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(players)

	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder",players)

	leaderstats.Name = 'leaderstats'

	local Level = Instance.new("IntValue", leaderstats)

	Level.Name = "Level"
	Level.Value = 1
	
	while wait(60) do
		Level.Value = Level.Value + 1
	end
end)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

     local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
     leaderstats.Parent = player
    leaderstats.Name = "LeaderStats"

     local Level = Instance.new("IntValue")
     Level.Parent = leaderstats
     Level.Name = "Level"

while wait(60) do
Level.Value += 1
end
end)

Careful with using the Parent argument in Instance.new…
Explanation: PSA: Don't use Instance.new() with parent argument

I fixed up the rest and adding a while do loop which can add the value.

Instance not Insance
that’s funny

oh and you shouldn’t use the parent parameter in the Instance.new(), causes memory leaks

Thank you for the response. Now that I have applied the changes that you recommended the leaderstats is no longer appearing.

I made a few changes and found that this works:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

     local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
     leaderstats.Name = "LeaderStats"

     local Level = Instance.new("IntValue")
     Level.Name = "Level"

while wait(60) do
Level.Value += 1
end
end)

Note: There are no errors in the output.

The edit you made is not putting leaderstats under the player. But, if it works for you then I guess it is okay…

The script I provided did work, it probably didn’t appear on the actual leaderboard because of the capitalization for the name of Leaderstats. Roblox is cap-sensitive.

I copied the capitolization exactly as you wrote it… I don’t understand why it’s not working.

Like I said, roblox is cap sensitive so the name has to be leaderstats instead of Leaderstats. (lowercase “L”)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

     local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
     leaderstats.Parent = player
    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"

     local Level = Instance.new("IntValue")
     Level.Parent = leaderstats
     Level.Name = "Level"

while wait(60) do
Level.Value += 1
end
end)

After some testing I found out that I had a typo in the script. Thanks for the response! :smiley:
